What happened to truth in advertising?

Megan September 13, 2008 at 3:10 PM: Wow. Clearly, I'll start feeding Avery a steady - yet moderate - diet of high fructose corn syrup now that I have the facts. Thank you, TV!
heather September 13, 2008 at 3:21 PM: I call that stuff Sam-phetamine. All who know me know that anyone who feeds it to him...gets to keep him for the week.
Beth September 13, 2008 at 5:41 PM: That is seriously crazy. Marketing to the less educated that feel everything on TV is the truth! Wow.
The Tucson Gang September 15, 2008 at 12:06 PM: Of course, having said that...I also get totally annoyed having to listen to the political commercials - when they are so obviously slandering the other candidate...it's just absurd! We are not idiots!
Megan September 15, 2008 at 12:44 PM: And now, I shall issue a plug for my favorite product of all time: TiVo. I have yet to see a single political ad this year. I still hear about all the hoopla, and sometimes watch bits online, but life is bliss when you don't have to watch political ads.
Sara September 17, 2008 at 11:23 AM: I thought I was the only one who finds these commercials completely insane! Oi...I agree with Beth, it's scary how much people believe something just because it's on TV.
